Solution for Precision Alignment and Assembly, new from PI
AUBURN, Mass., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PI, a
global leader in motion control and nanopositioning systems, offers
an ultra-low-profile Z-Tip-Tilt stage designed for demanding
alignment applications in optics, semiconductors, precision
assembly, and photonics.
Based on air bearings and linear motors, the stage is wear-free,
maintenance-free, and cleanroom compatible.
High Speed, Resolution, and Load Capacity
High speed is ensured by 3-phase linear motors, while high
resolution and precision are provided by closed-loop operation with
linear encoders (1 nm resolution) for direct position feedback. The
direct-drive design, free of drive screws and gears, enables high
dynamics with acceleration up to 1g, high speed, and outstanding
positional repeatability with zero backlash. The 10-inch diameter
platform supports a high load capacity of 18 lbs. The compact
design provides 5 mm of Z-travel and a rotation range of 2° for
tilt axes.
Low Profile Enabled by Parallel-Kinematics Design
The parallel-kinematics, integrated design with only one moving
platform significantly reduces height, center of gravity, and
inertia — ideal for high-dynamic applications. The single-platform
design also eliminates the accumulation of errors commonly seen in
Z-Tip-Tilt systems based on three individual modules.
5-Axis and 6-Axis Combinations
The A-523 Z-Tip-Tilt stage can be paired with a 2-axis planar
air-bearing stage to provide 5-axis precision motion for
semiconductor and laser processing automation. A 6DOF combination
with the low-profile A-361 XYθz stage is also available.

Applications
The A-523 three-axis air-bearing stage is ideal for high-precision
alignment automation tasks, such as optics testing and positioning,
wafer inspection, fiber positioning, flat-screen inspection, lens
alignment, maskless lithography, and µ-LED manufacturing.
